skyline

c. 2005, new view music


drivin' on the west side
drivin' on the west side highway
takin' in the sights
takin' in the sunrise
on my way to a skyline cafe

i can't wait to see your face
in the morning when i come in
can't wait to see your reflection
in my cup of coffee
i can't wait
to see the sunlight splash through
i can't wait
to be reminded of you

as i drive
as i drive
as i drive

drivin' on the west side
drivin' on the west side highway
thinkin' of what we might do today

i would love to hear your voice
as we watch the people pass the day
i would love
if we waltzed on the subway
would love to hold you close
as we leave the city behind
would love to paint the picture
i always have on my mind

as i drive
as i drive
as i drive

watchin' the white lines go past
at a breakneck speed
i pretent that you're drivin' in front of me
up ahead in the lead
watchin' the shadows go past
and then at last
you're next to me
in the passenger seat
lettin' the wind take your hair
reminiscence takes me there

as i drive
as i drive
as i drive

thinkin' of all the words you said
when we were lying in bed
together, makin' promises
we thought we could keep
right before we went to sleep
think of the next time we'll do this again
watchin' the dawn like we did back then
and wastin' away in a lazy cafe
without a care
reminiscence takes me there

as i drive
as i drive
as i drive

drivin' on the west side
drivin' on the west side highway
wavin' goodbye as i drive away
